Mountain View Modern: Cairo, NY

About The Property

Welcome to this stylish, turnkey mountain house nestled atop a gentle hill, offering privacy and stunning year-round views of the Catskills—Acra Point and Windham, to be exact. Enjoy these vistas from the expansive front deck or through the home’s plentiful, west-facing windows. With ski season right around the corner, Hunter Mountain—a favorite destination for skiers of all levels—is just a 30-minute drive away.

Arriving at the property, a short, paved driveway leads to ample parking at the top. The deep navy-blue exterior creates a striking contrast against the surrounding autumn foliage. Outdoors, you’ll find a generous level backyard complete with the must-have, upstate fire pit and a convenient small, fenced area just to the right of the front door for letting your pup out.

Inside, cathedral ceilings and an open-concept floor plan create a bright, airy atmosphere. The sleek kitchen, outfitted with new quartz countertops, flows effortlessly into the dining area. Just beyond, the sunken, light-filled living room is extra enticing, anchored by picture-window views of mountain sunsets and a double-sided gas fireplace that adds cozy ambiance and warms the entire floor. In warmer months, step out onto the spacious deck facing the mountains for outdoor dining and stargazing. A full bathroom with a tiled shower, coat closets, and access to the lower level complete this main floor.

Upstairs, you’ll find two nicely sized bedrooms with ample closet space and mini-splits for efficient heating and cooling. Additional picture windows on this level ensure you can take in those sweeping mountain views from above.

The lower level offers fantastic bonus space for hosting overnight guests, featuring a rec room, a bedroom, and an attached office—all accented with a stylish shiplap wall. A second full bathroom with a tiled shower serves this level. A tidy equipment room houses the mechanicals alongside a washer and dryer.

The seller has meticulously taken care of many behind-the-scenes updates during her ownership, including a new furnace and a new sump pump, to name a few. More specifics can be found by clicking on the extra info button on this page.

Location-wise, you’re less than 15 minutes from Catskill and Leeds—putting local favorites like Casa Susanna (amazing Mexican cuisine), Gracie’s Lunchenette (known for scratch-made dishes), Hemlock (for cocktails), Magpie Bookshop, and craft spots like Subversive Brewery right within easy reach. In downtown Cairo—just 2 minutes away—Red Star Café and Bakery will quickly become your go-to morning stop for coffee and pastries. Travel to and from NYC is seamless: the Hudson Amtrak station is under 30 minutes away, and the drive from George Washington Bridge is under two hours. Whether you’re seeking a serene personal getaway or a property with income-generating potential, this mountain home is ready for its next chapter.
